These are Apple's most affordable earbuds, ringing in at just under $100. And according to our tech experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute, the AirPods (2nd Generation) are the best value AirPods you can pick up. They might not be the most up-to-date model, but they're built with the same H1 chip as the latest AirPods, so you're still getting a high-quality audio experience. “They are great quality earbuds and are pretty affordable compared to other brands...I have had the same pair for multiple years and they have stayed in great condition!” says senior product analyst Emma Seymour. The battery life should last up to 24 hours when you pair the buds with the charging case.

Apple Watch SE (1st Generation) (GPS, 40mm) is $130 (54% off; $150 off)

The most budget-friendly Apple Watch you can buy is the 1st Generation SE. It might not have all the latest features, but you're still getting essentials like workout tracking, Emergency SOS, a heart rate monitor and a durable, swimproof design for $130. The GPS model means you'll need your iPhone nearby to access calling and texting on your wrist. It's a smart model to buy if you're looking for your first Apple Watch.

Apple 2020 MacBook Air (265GB) is $750 (25% off; $250 off)

Already our choice for the best value MacBook, this model has hit its lowest price ever. The laptop features an up to 18-hour battery life and Apple's M1 chip. Its technology might be considered "old" for the Apple world (only three years), but it's still packed with tech specs that make it a powerful laptop that's well worth the money. We found it ideal for everyday users thanks to its accessibility features for vision, mobility and hearing. It's fast, efficient and lightweight, doubling as a great choice for commuters and frequent travelers.

Apple iPad Air (5th Generation) (64GB, WiFi+Cellular) is $630 (16% off; $120 off)

Great for traveling, the iPad Air (5th Gen) weighs just one pound. Watching your favorite movies and TV shows on the 10.9-inch Retina display beats your small phone screen any day, and Apple's M1 chip helps to deliver a fast and efficient performance. The tablet is only a quarter-of-an-inch thick, so it also doesn't take up much space in your tote or backpack. You can connect the iPad to your cellular data plan for quick access to streaming your favorite show and web browsing on the go.

Apple 16-inch 2021 MacBook Pro (1TB) is $2,400 (11% off; $301 off)

The 2021 MacBook Pro is still $300 off after Labor Day, with the Space Grey colorway already sold out.

This particular MacBook has an up to 21-hour battery life, meaning you could get a full day's work in on a single charge. This deal sold out during Prime Day, so it's smart to cash in while you can.

Apple AirPods Max are $470 (14% off; $80 off)

AirPods Max are Apple's answer to on-ear headphones. They offer superior sound quality as well as Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Modes, plus an up to 20 hour battery life. Considering the price was one of our few caveats, this sale makes it all the more enticing.

Apple 15.3-inch 2023 MacBook Air is $1,100 (15% off; $200 off)

One of the newest MacBooks, this 15.3-inch model is the MacBook Air's first size upgrade above 13 inches. It still has the portable and lightweight design of a MacBook Air (it weighs just 3.3 pounds and is just less than half of an inch thick) but a screen size more comparable to the larger MacBook Pro options. It's also packed with Apple's fast, efficient and updated M2 chip for a quick and seamless user performance. This is the lowest price ever for the new laptop.

Apple Watch Series 8 (GPS, 41mm) is $310 ($22% off; $90 off)

Named our best smartwatch for women, the Apple Watch Series 8 features major upgrades from the Series 7. The up to 18-hour battery life lived up to its claim in our testing, and our pros were impressed with the tech specs the watch offered. "The Series 8 features a sensor that tracks your temperature while you sleep and enables ovulation estimates, a handy tool for those who are hoping to grow their family... Advanced sensor technology allows the watch to measure blood oxygen levels, and it can also take an ECG reading in 30 seconds, providing valuable insights into your overall heart health," said Rachel Rothman, the chief technologist and executive technical director of the GH Institute.

When is Labor Day 2023?

Labor Day lands on Monday, September 4, 2023. It typically falls on the first Monday of September every year.

Does Apple have a Labor Day sale?

Apple rarely — if ever — throws any sort of sale. A great time to shop for Apple gadgets at a reduced price is during the Amazon Labor Day sale and the Walmart Labor Day sale. Each retailer tends to keep a high stock of devices and mark them down during holiday weekends like Labor Day and Memorial Day. Despite the large stock, we've noticed that the best deals still tend to sell out quickly since any sort of Apple discount is coveted.
